Welcome to Double Feature, the dumbest movie podcast (and, we hope, your new favorite). The two films we watch every episode aren't based on genre, topicality, or theme, but a metric so pointless it might just be the best way to broaden your cinematic horizons: titles that rhyme.

    Episode #11: Bubble/Female Trouble

    In this episode, we embrace absurdity while fawning over John Waters' 1974 film Female Trouble and wander into the world of hyperrealism with Stephen Soderbergh's disconcerting Bubble (2005). Music: Tune by Sam Spence

    Spotlight: A Million to Juan

    Tonally inconsistent, terribly paced, weirdly charming... why, it's the subject of our latest spotlight episode, A Million to Juan (1994)! Bet you can't guess the main character's name.

    Episode #10: Mortal Kombat: Annihilation/Lost in Translation

    Choose your fighter! While talking about Mortal Kombat: Annihilation (1997) and Lost in Translation (2003), I finally learn who Sylvia's preferred Mortal Kombat character is and we discuss the strange intimacy that can spring up between strangers in a foreign land—whether that's two Americans travelling in Japan or four fighters traversing the demon realms of the Outworld.

    Yeehaw, baby! We’re taking a trip to the Wild West this week with Django (1966) and Rango (2011). Whether our protagonist is a plucky chameleon or a hard-edged gunslinger, we’ll encounter all matter of bar fights, tumbleweeds, and ghost town shootouts along the way.

    This week we fall out of love with one movie, My Dinner with Andre (1981), and in love with another, It's Such a Beautiful Day (2012). Topics of discussion include dementia, sweaters, and my irrational fear of being blindfolded. Music: Dinner Music by David Byrne & Kronos Quartet

    Episode #7: LEGO Scooby Doo: Blowout Beach Bash/LEGO DC Comics Super Heroes: The Flash

    In our longest-titled and most dejected episode yet, we face the consequences of our choice to watch two terrible Lego movies made for children. Join us as we talk about animation, superheroes, inexplicable musical numbers, and how consumerism will destroy everything you love! Music: Scooby Doo, Where Are You? (8-Bit Cover) by Beatrice Haro

    Episode #6: Click/White Boy Rick

    Into the Sandler-Verse! After getting our brains broken by the 2006 "comedy" Click, we spend a comparatively brief amount of time talking about the 2018 film based on the true story of a 14 year old FBI informant, White Boy Rick. Music: MMM "Moskau-Moskwa-Mitternacht" by Peter Thomas Sound Orchester
